Sunday Sweets: The "Eh" Team
Today we've decided to feature some amazing cakes in honor of Canada Day, which was Friday.
"But, john the hubby of Jen!" you say, "The fourth of July is tomorrow! We need cakes with American flags! And American things! And...you know...America!"
Well, tough. We've picked on Canada enough over the years, and they deserve at least one day of Sweets for putting up with us.
Plus we used up our best American cakes for Memorial Day.
But mostly that first thing.
Er, before we proceed, I think I should mention that Jen & I have logged many, many hours into determining the least offensive, least stereotypical way to write today's post.
Then we gave up and just wrote what we wanted anyway. Sorry. As Craig Ferguson would say, "I look forward to your letters."

Check out that shading! Such great perspective - and almost completely fondant-free.

Stereotypical? Yes.
Freakin' adorable? ALSO yes.
Now how's about a little Canadian landmarkage?

That is the CN Tower. It's 1,815.4 feet - or 553.33 meters - tall and weighs 118,000 tonnes.
So I'm not sure those people are to scale.
These cute crustaceans, either:

Hockey! Or as my French-Canadian dad calls it, 'ockey!
That's their Olympic jersey, too. Pretty sweet.
Speaking of sports, are you ready to have your mind blown?
The decorator made each tiny little divot with a #2 icing tip. A. Mazing.
Here's something else uniquely Canadian:

Is it too much to hope the map layer is made of Mississippi mud cake?
Happy Belated Canada Day, Canada! Thanks for being the most polite, fun-loving, and best sense-of-humor-having readers we could ask for.

Let's start with some sweet Canadian flags:
Perfection. And after looking at hundreds of Canadian flag cakes, I can say with complete confidence that the maple leaf is officially the hardest thing in the world to draw accurately.
You might think I'll be posting a moose cake next. BUT YOU WOULD BE WRONG.

Plus, from my extensive research I now know that there are almost twice as many black bears in Canada as there are in the U.S. I can also tell you Canada's gross national product and the top five cleanest cities, but Jen tells me that would be "boring as snot," so I guess I won't now.
And...uh...here's a beaver cake:

Obviously this post wouldn't be complete without a cake representing Canada's national winter sport:

That's their Olympic jersey, too. Pretty sweet.

It turns out that basketball was invented by a Canadian. Which is why *I* only root for the Raptors. When I watch basketball, I mean. (Which is never.)
Oh, and do you see that texture?

Tim Hortons!
Okay, so there are also some in Ohio, but that's almost Canada anyway, right?
Besides, we couldn't find any cakes of poutine, tuques, or adorable accents.
Then there's Canada's other beverage of choice:

Beer! (In a tree!)
And get this: those beer bottles and "ice" are molded hard candy. Even the melted bits on the board! I'm amazed. Definitely one of the most convincing bottle cakes I've ever seen.What's that? You want a little Canadian history? Ok, how's this: did you know that Louis Jolliet (a Canadian) was the first explorer to map the Mississippi river?

And so, in conclusion, I'm sorry I couldn't find a Barenaked Ladies/Nathan Fillion mash-up cake, since I'm told that many of you believe a Barenaked Fillion would make your entire year.
However...
However...
Haven't you always wanted a monkey?
If I had a million dollars...I'd buy, like, ten of these cakes.
Happy Belated Canada Day, Canada! Thanks for being the most polite, fun-loving, and best sense-of-humor-having readers we could ask for.
